A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Rant There are people who have little talent/skill that get a lot of business and people who have talent and skill who get no business. It’s so annoying. I know people who know how to use their tools and get gigs left and right and there’s me who tries very hard to get work and has no luck.

You are not good people only care about the subject matter not the skills to do the job right and make things look good-great.

There are people who are amazing and get work but I am talking about the people who are near the line.

Networking, business and people skills will get you way further in business than photography skills. But your talent can be icing on the cake if you learn the other stuff. And it’s never too late to start working on the former. Seems like you understand the differentiator with those who get a lot of business and those that don’t, up to you if you want to pursue the skills needed to succeed.
